Forgive the title, I need it to make it interesting to get some views. Now that's said, let me get to it.
I recently tried to flash MIUI onto my Samsung Infuse. I had Infused ROM v.2.2.3. I must have messed up because now I'm having trouble getting my phone to start. When I power on, it briefly shows the Samsung logo (for about 3 sec); then for split second an alternate screen flashes on my screen just before my phone shuts off. Now, I've tried to load CWM(red version) with the 2/3 button technique; however, I haven't been able to get into that GUI.
I have been able to get into the Download screen, for Odin. But, I was hoping there might be some sort of way to solve this problem without resetting my phone to stock.
Questions
1. Can I utilize the Download screen to re-implement or re-flash my ROMs on my phone; without loosing data
2. Is there a way that I can force my way into the CWM GUI?
3 If none of the above are possible, where can I get information Odin for the Infuse; and where can I download the program?
Thank you for reading, and thanks for the help in advance!

I wasn't going to reply to your thread but you caught me in a good mood. head over to the dev forum and you will find everything you need to get your phone back. That's all I'm goin to give you. the more you search and experiment the more you will learn
Already found somethings that are helping...
I didn't post for as a resource, just thought that if someone knew where to look they'd point me in the right place.
For anyone who might need a nudge; this link will direct you to complete recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
Did you follow the directions exactly as it says? Did you ever get into blue cwm and flash miui a second time?

I wouldn't recommend MIUI to anyone who isn't atleast a little experienced in flashing ROMs, and are sure won't panic if they find their system soft bricked.

Can anyone please help, I soft bricked my Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 p6800. I tried to install, cm10 custom rom, while i soft bricked my p6800 tab 7.7.
Now, i can enter download mode, and i can go recovery mode. When i switch off and switch on it automatically gets into recovery mode.
I could not do factory reset, through odin, i could flash, recover image, kernel, but not the rom, When i try flash any rom, it will try NAND rewrite, and try to factoryfs.mg and will get struck, nothing will happen, or i will get message failed.
I tried formating data folder, no use.
Is there anyway, can you please help me.
thanks a ton, in anticipation.

Sound like you got the SUPERBRICK. Had the same problem myself. This seems to have helped some people.. LOT to READ though. And NO guarantees as usually. Hope it will help you. READ carefully.

i think this may be A solution. here's the strange thing:
i thought i superbricked my tab--for 2 weeks now i've been trying to get it going again. i'd had some success with various roms, but then my cache partition corrupted. after trying to repartition data and system for a week, having to look for ever smaller partitions for both, i finally gave up, flashed the original pit file, and flashed the sammobile ICS ato firmware. i'm still stuck at the boot animation, BUT, MY CACHE SYSTEM AND DATA partitions are all checking clean with e2fsck, and some other contiguity checker i found in the gNote forums.
what they've suggested when all else fails if you're getting clean partitions, then flash back to GB (original firmware for the note) so i'm downloading stock HC firmware now and gonna give it a try... KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!!!!
Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.
Assuming you'll be at a computer soon. You need to Odin back to stock blaze firmware. Using the blaze uvlh5.(I think that's it.) From samfirmware.com

Thanks I will try
Moved...due to not a Development Thread. Please hit the report button next time, Thank You.
I came across a similar problem in the forums with a different samsung model, but the trouble there does not seem to be quite as persistent as my issue. Or at least, no one has posted follow ups in that thread.
I bought the phone on ebay, rooted, and unlocked and it worked for me for a few months beautifully. Then, one day it started acting weird. Programs would randomly crash, or reboot the phone. Rebooting helped for awhile, then didn't help and most of the programs became mostly unusable. One day, the phone hung while booting and I had to force it to shut down, and when it finally loaded properly the screen had reset to factory setup and the home button wouldn't work. Also the wireless had turned off and the date/time setting had changed. Plugging in to the computer using Kies fixed the home button problem, but the trouble with all my apps got worse. And the Tab would crash or reboot (and hang on reloading) even when I wasn't using it. Clearing the caches did not help at all.
I did a factory reset/data wipe (I've done a few now, actually), and that seems to fix the problem for a day or two, then the phone will hang on booting and the screen will have reset. The phone is rooted, but running the original Froyo 2.2 ROM.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I can't return it at this point, and am loathe to replace it since it works properly *most* of the time. I'd like to think this is fixable...and that *I* can fix it (with a little guidance). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The SGT 7.7 originally released with 3.2 GB firmware (no Froyo).
Providing you have no partitions corrupted;
Have a read of the forum stickies and upgrade to a newer official Samsung Android version using Odin. All the guidance you need is able to search, read, and follow instructions etc
You also have choice of other ROMs found in the development section.
1. Custom ICS ROM (Samsung base) stable and working
2. Custom JB ROMs - some features may/may not work, check the thread

For latest official firmware Odin flashable, check;
samsung-updates.com
or
sammobile.com
Just extract so you have the tar file and flash with Odin. Guides and stickies will tell you how.
Custom ROMs will require a custom recovery, so before flashing custom ROM, make a nandroid backup from within the recovery menu. I personally use TWRP (touch) which is straight forward and easy to use and install. CWM recovery cab be flashed via Odin and requires more use of the volume keysto navigate and power to select.
From power off state:
Download mode = power + volume down (keep pressed until DL mode)
Recovery = power + volume up (keep pressed.. .. .)
Best of luck

Thanks for the suggestion, although full disclosure: I realized after following up on the first response to my original post, that I put this in the wrong forum. I have a Samsung GT-P1000, not a 7.7, and this seems to make things a bit trickier. Especially since I can't seem to get a official firmware upgrade from Samsung (US doesn't show as available country). And I can't dial as I use this only as a tablet with Wifi.
I'll try one of the custom ROMs though, and see if that helps.
As the title says: P5110 keeps rebooting during boot - right after animation stops (before word SAMUNGS starts glowing).
Tablet is rooted and there is CWM 5.5.0.4 installed. Was just fine for almost half a year and all of a sudden this...
I have tried
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced : wipe Dalvik Cache (whatever that might be?)
I also tried all the "mounts and storage" options and noticed on thing: i can mount all storage mounts (/system, /cache, /data, /efs, /preload, /sdcard) but one - namely /emmc. Does it mean that emmc is broken? What is emmc? Is it important?
I am considering unrooting it and removing CWM. But not sure whether it's even possible and don't dare to try!
Can you tell me anything that might help me debrick this tablet?
Do you have nandroid backup(one that you make with cwm)? If yes go to backup and restore in cwm and hit restore....if not try to reflash rom via cwm or flash stock rom via odin in dowload mode.

Sorry to jump on this thread but might be a similar steps the OP has to take.
What if he flashes a new Rom and it still is locked in a strange boot up?
I posted a thread earlier today but either no one has an answer or my thread title was just crappy.
Mine did exactly what his is doing now (just boots the samsung logo and hangs) and now it just boots into recovery everytime you start it.
Flashing an original stock rom didnt fix it.
Flash via Odin any stock ROM then root it and flash whatever you like.
This kind of brick may occur easily if you have flashed uncompatible kernel or tried to restore nandroid backup of another ROM or made by uncompatible CWM recovery version.

Normally, it should actually work absolutely fine if you flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Nobody knows what did cause your problems and what did you flash as last. Also, different OS versions use sometimes different partitions. Even CWM recovery is not compatible through all versions, it uses different formatting.
So this way should work to restore stock ROM on your device:
find and download Odin that fits your device (earlier versions are not neccessarily worse ones)
find and download PIT file for your device
find stock ROM for your device consisting 3-files (for PDA, Phone, CSC).... ROMs are usually zipped, so you will get 3 data after extracting
The PIT file will do re-partitions for the case that your formerly installed ROM used different partitions whch are not compatible with the stock ROM.
After that you will have again unrooted stock ROM. So just be careful afterwards whatever you flash and before you do it, make sure that whatever you flash always fits your device (no matter is it whole ROM, kernel or just upgrade).

Thank you for the reply. I had posted a link in here that linked to my thread that explained what i had done and used but it didnt show up for some reason? Anyway I used the below roms(in bold). An update was available for JB and we own two tablets both the P5113 and bought at the same time. One tablet updated fine but the other one would download the package but then would keep failing to install it. So i did a factory reset on the device and then that's when the fun began and it started booting strange.
So I first tried flashing the official JB rom using ODin 3.04.
P5113UECLK7 (4.1.1) - Cellular south November 2012 (Official)
and it still did the same thing so then i tried flashing it back to ICS which is the rom that was on there i think. (It was ICS but not sure if that was the exact version number?)
P5113UEBLI1 (4.0.4) - Singapore September 2012 (Official)
Im sure the roms are going on there fine as if im not mistaken ICS has a blue battery charge icon and JB a gold one. I noticed that it went from blue to gold when i first loaded the 4.1.1 on there and then back to blue when i put ICS back on there.
I cant seem to find a PIT file for the P5113. Only for the P5100. Would that work?
I tried it anyway and it didnt work

If I was you, I wouldn't flash it before I am 100% sure it fits the p5113. I own the p5110 and they are indeed very similar, but who knows.... Take care of your Tab, mate.
BTW: why not CM10.1 stable? It works awesome, full wipe/factory reset, install zip through recovery, install recent gapps for CM10.1 (4.2.2) and after boot install Apex launcher and enjoy life

I hear you Its a paper weight right now though so thought id rather try as nothing else is doing the trick.
The tablets are my kids so i preferred to just give them an official stock version. I got put off using custom roms when i used paranoid android on my samsung galaxy 2 and it was real buggy. I just need my devices to work for the basics. I now run stock jelly bean on my GS2 but even that has crappy battery life, lucky for it to make it till 4pm and still be on and thats with moderate use. Couple of phone calls and a few text messages and a tiny bit or browsing. I know what is causing it though as it only starts to lose battery when im not on wi fi. It at least doesnt freeze and stop receiving phone calls altogether like PA did though. I used to miss a ton of work calls because the phone had actually frozen.
I love Apex though. I have Apex pro on my GS2 and its much better then the standard launcher. My daughter has the GS3 and it still does not rotate on the home and app screens which i find annoying.

I've got your point, mate. :good:
Same with me: I need all the functions to work. The CM10.1 does it really, but my p5110 is wifi-only device so I'm not sure if CM10.1 is same good for your p5113. CM10.2 seems to be smooth and fast, but many apps aren't yet updated for 4.3 so I will wait a while before I flash it again.
I have cm10.1 on my p5113...it runs amazing...the p5113 owners most of the time have to flash the p5110 version because there is nothing different with the tabs besides the ir port..

Can you reach the download mode? (press 2 buttons at same time: volume down and power button)
OK, yes- you need same Odin version as Tabs 51xx, this is link for Odin 3.07:

Try pressing the buttons with the charger plugged in, as well as plugged out, that is little trick with the p51xx Tabs

Great, I am glad to hear it did charger cable trick help?
Just to make sure: you must be sure to flash a stock ROM first (not JB based custom ROM), after it you will have revived Tab without root. After that normal proceeding: root it, install CWM recovery or custom kernel that fits your ROM (or even whole custom ROM) which already features the CWM recovery.
The stock recovery (3e) checks the signature so of course you can't flash any custom zips. CWM recovery has an option "toggle signature verification" where one can disable signature check. Then you can flash whatever you want, just take care that all you ever flash must be absolutely compatible for your device.

One more thing mate, look at this video which I've posted on YouTube last January:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXBN9Z63TY
It describes how to get rid of the signature verification problem. For the reason that quite many people don't understand english well, I have made a speechless video added by step by step description in the text (video description) so people can just copy the text and paste it into their translators.
If one ROM that you have flashed bootloops on the logo just try another ROM. It happens sometimes. Important is that you should always before flashing another ROM make full wipe: (data/factory reset/cache/dalvik) in your recovery mode.
Did you do it?
Please let me know if you were successful, it should work now! Good luck :fingers-crossed:
It works!
Thanks everyone for your feedback!!!
and my apologies for late response.
I followed the advise to (re)flash stock rom and it worked!
After that i rooted it again, installed another recovery and now have the latest stock rom working perfectly.
For those who get the same problem and the tabled keeps rebooting - just plug it into recharger and keep the on/off button until it turns off. Then you can fully charge it before you attempt to flash rom.
Once again, thanks a lot!
PS. now i am considering installing CM10.1

Great! Congratulations
Yes, install CM10.1.1 with gapps for 4.2.2 it works great, all the functions. Just mind that you can not restore nandroid backups made with other kernel, (sometimes also not if done with older CWM recovery version) and also apps backups made by Titanium backups in older systems aren't good idea to restore once you upgrade to CM10x
If you want to return for any reason to your old (current) ROM, do the same procedure like by unbricking
